  • Increasing Customer Acceptance in Planning Product- Service Systems
    TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT MÜNCHEN Lehrstuhl für Produktentwicklung Increasing Customer Acceptance in Planning Product- Service Systems Danilo Marcello Schmidt Vollständiger Abdruck der von der Fakultät für Maschinenwesen der Technischen Universität München zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktor-Ingenieurs genehmigten Dissertation. Vorsitzender: Prof. Dr. Sonja Berensmeier Prüfer der Dissertation: 1. Prof. i.R. Dr.-Ing. Udo Lindemann 2. Prof. Yong Se Kim, Ph.D. Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, Südkorea 3. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Zäh Die Dissertation wurde am 09.11.2016 bei der Technischen Universität München eingereicht und durch die Fakultät für Maschinenwesen am 30.05.2017 angenommen. FOREWORD OF THE EDITOR Problem The success of the Product-Service System (PSS) “Power-by-the-Hour”, offered by Rolls- Royce to airlines, shows that customers appreciate a problem-oriented solution instead of a product fulfilling just the requirements. The service “Power-by-the-Hour” covers all maintenance processes of aircraft turbines and relieves the airlines of the responsibility of caring for the turbines – for a fixed price per flight time. This increases customer acceptance by reducing financial risks for airlines and by reducing the complexity perceived by airlines in managing their fleets. The approach PSS describes this way of integrating a product into a service to gain benefits for customers: PSS integrates both product and service elements into one integrated market offer. The example “Power-by-the-Hour” demonstrates that PSS are capable of increasing customer acceptance. Besides financial risks and perceived complexity, there are other aspects influencing customer acceptance. Using the potential of PSS to increase customer acceptance is a challenge for companies: they might not know the relevant aspects of customer acceptance and they might not know how to influence those aspects of customer acceptance in the PSS planning phase.
